Mass. AG: Investigation Underway over American Career Institute

BOSTON, Mass. (WGGB) – The state’s attorney general is urging students of a now-defunct career school to take steps to protect themselves.

Mass. Attorney General Martha Coakley’s office says that there is an active, ongoing investigation into the sudden closure of American Career Institute.

The school closed Wednesday after a letter on the front door indicated that it was forced to close after it faced a “recent and unanticipated inability to access additional credit from the school’s lenders.”

“Our office is working to protect students who find themselves in this circumstance with seemingly no advance warning,” Coakley says in a statement.

STUDENTS

Students that have been affected by ACI’s closure are advised to call Coakley’s Public Inquiry and Assistance Center at (617) 727-8400 for further information and assistance. This phone line will be staffed Monday through Friday, 10:00 a.m to 4:00 p.m.
